Press Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PartingWishes.com Launches Unique Internet Estate Planning Services
February 6, 2003 -- PartingWishes.com has launched a
unique portfolio of services that allows consumers to communicate their final
wishes to loved ones after they have passed away. The interactive website
includes services for describing funeral wishes, drafting a legal Will,
preparing multimedia messages and creating online memorials.
Many people are uncomfortable with the topic of their own
death and do not take the time to express their funeral
wishes clearly to their family members. Now, as a free service offered by
PartingWishes.com, members are able to document their funeral wishes by
answering a series of questions related to the style, cost and format of their
own funeral. These wishes can then be printed for safekeeping, or stored on the
secure PartingWishes.com server. The member then designates specific friends
and/or family members as "Keyholders®", who are each assigned a unique password.
Only after the member passes away can the information be accessed.
In addition, a lawyer approved U.S. and
Canadian Legal Will service is now available. Users of this service are
presented with a series of comprehensive questions, written in plain language,
the answers to which form the basis of their Will. Clear, concise, online help
is available at every step of the way, so that consumers do not need to be legal
experts to create their own legal Will.
PartingWishes.com has also introduced a Memorials service which allows members to create
an online tribute to loved ones, or alternatively their own memorial, to be
published after they are gone. These memorials can be set up to remain online
for decades, to be enjoyed by future generations.
A "Messages" service is available
for those people who would like to ensure that some final messages or important
information is passed on to loved ones, but don't want to rely on a sealed
envelope which may either be opened prematurely, or never be discovered. The
messages remain completely secure until they are eventually unlocked by a
designated Keyholder® after the member has passed away.
"Unfortunately, most of us do not take the time to make our
final plans. 70 percent of North Americans do not have a legal Will, and of the
30 percent who do, most are out of date" explains CEO Tim Hewson. "In addition,
many people have specific preferences for certain aspects of their funeral, but
few have clearly communicated their funeral wishes. It is clear that may people
are looking for a more effective approach to funeral and estate planning, but
engaging professional help can be very inconvenient and expensive while existing
products such as do-it-yourself Will kits are very disappointing."
